I am linked up to Sandra at Diary of a SAHM for Happy Homemaker Monday :)
The Weather::: It has been simply gorgeous here most
days – upper 70s and sunny during the afternoon and brisk in the lower 50s in
the mornings and evenings.
On my reading pile::: Last week I finished “The Widow of Larkspur Inn” by Lawana Blackwell, “Return from Tomorrow” by George C. Ritchie, and “Inescapable” by Nancy Mehl. The first was my favorite and it really made me want to go and live in a small, country village! I started “The Keeper” by Suzanne Woods Fisher on Saturday and ended up finishing it on Sunday. Four out of five of these books are about the Amish – I have been reading so many books about them lately!
On my tv::: Our cable has been off for a week now and I think I may just have to get it turned back on :/ It’s not going so well just watching DVDs in the living room! I’ve watched nothing aside from CSI: Miami and CSI: NY all week.
On the menu for this
week:::
Sunday - Surf n Turf with baked potatoes and
green beans (Em’s request)
Monday – Crockpot chicken fajitas with homemade
guacamole & blue corn chips
Tuesday - Having
dinner with a friend from church
Wednesday - Stuffed shells with steamed broccoli

Saturday - Dinner at my parents’ house
On my to do list:::
Grocery shopping
Lesson planning/homeschooling
Washing the walls
What I am sewing,
crocheting, knitting or creating::: I’ve been working on Scripture journals. Sort of like a smash book with Bible notes,
scripture, hymns, inspirational quotes, etc.
Homemaking Tips::: I’m starting to think there is nothing better than hot, soapy water!
Looking around the
house::: I
made some pumpkin spice “Febreeze” to spray my bedroom linens with and I just
love the scent. My bed is comfy and cozy
with lots of pillows and 3 quilts!
From the camera:::
